I think they deserve it. Alot of time spent away from home etc. Long hours in the saddle training etc.

I thought Sauser was a retired athlete?

Yeah i get that. Its also a tax deduction/write off. Not sure what the correct term is.

Blend i know. They are a property company. BUt what are they getting out of sponsoring a MTB team. I guess thats why i dont do marketing etc.

Please read post above. I am talking gross. That being said I have never understood the return on investment. Take for example team Sky on the international circuit. Who even knows what he company Sky does?

no you misunderstand. Some are on salaries of between R40-R60. Others have cars etc thrown in. Also remember that most do not only have one sponsor! They have numerous which makes up the numbers. And those numbers are gross not nett.

i know some of the guys personally

Also remember that some have cars sponsored so they only really have to pay for medical, food and house

dont know about any of the Re:cm crowd though

from what I understand its more than that. Some are closer to 40-60k

He got a hair cut!

Agreed. Was going to enter myself for the 3 day and my wife for the 2 day. R1750 for 3 day equates to R583 to race each day. The wife on the 2 day was closer to R600. Dont see the value in that.

That hill up the back didnt look like much but after doing it for 6/7 laps it was a kiler

YEah i remeber those. The fittest i ever got was when they used to hold the Wednesday night races. Man i miss those days. Bikes were cheaper. It was easier to get fitter and lose weight cause i was younger.

and now days we dont even have club races anymore. Used to be a regular thing here in JHB. Each club would take a turn in holding an event. Flat dogs (Rietvlei), Rock hoppers (Phambili)etc

Get her on friday. Also got the confirmation mail that we will be getting the pick of the litter we chose.

another Boarder Collie Pup. Female. Males that mark all over just drive me nuts so i only have girls!

They are so cute together! We are picking up our new pup on friday so Jazzie will have a friend.

comes back to the previous thread asking why the double standards!

Crisis. I have 4 months to get my wife ready

A formidable team that for sure.

I didn't which is why I am considering Norway this year

We race the same cat then. Probably race each other and dont even know it

i have seen Phillip throw a tail whip over that small bridge that crosses the river at fountains. Shat myself for him and then realised what he was doing. The boy has some SERIOUS skills.
